They got this n**** named Rob, and Rob is my dog
His people doin' bad, sometimes I break him off
I got love for the n**** - 'round my way, they doin' bad
Every time we come outside, we say, "Look at they dirty a**."
He ain't worried 'bout it, he just keep his head up
And say, "One day, I'ma be straight. Y'all just watch when I come up."
Some days, my dog don't have nothin' to eat
Man, that s*** is cold, but sometime that's how it be
His momma on stones, daddy on hero'n
Whole household f***** up - all of them b****** gone
Dog, they know they gone, tryin' to score from me
Knowin' I be with they son every day of the week
But they don't care - f*** that, not gon' play it like that
That's my m***********' round, so I'ma give him respect
Even though s*** f***** up, my round still be chillin'
Gettin' it how he live in this project livin'
[Hook - Hakiem]
In the project, n***** don't wan' see you come up
You don't give 'em what they want, they gon' f*** your head up
Like a man, bruh - you know how it be goin' down
n**** be straight project when they livin' uptown
In the project, you know n***** be stun'n, round
If a n**** don't play ya n****, go lay your a** down
Like a man, bruh - you know how it be goin' down
n**** be straight thuggin' when they livin' uptown
[Turk]
Look
Verse two, and I'ma talk about these project broads
Stealin' clothes, gettin' hustles, usin' them credit cards
Gettin' how they could, anyway that they can
Wearin' each other clothes, f*****' each other man
Gotta respect they mind, let 'em do what they do
Broads like to look good, and they like to shine, too
Havin' babies like that ain't nothin' for n***** with names
Them hoes love a n**** with that project fame
Sittin' on the porch, just gossipin'
'Bout any and everything that be happenin'
This s***'s real - get it how they live in the brick
You should know how it is if you live in the bricks
They do whatever it takes to keep a lil' cake
Catch them a duck, they want everything that he make
Yeah, they play it raw, but I ain't mad at 'em
I just let 'em do they thing, dog, I ain't mad at 'em
[Hook - Hakiem]
[Turk]
Everyday, it's the same old s***, but different toilets
Either you're hustlin' or you're starvin' like Marvin
Livin' from (??) to (?), beggin' n***** for jo's
Gettin' played like a junky, disrespected by hoes
'Cause ain't no n**** gon' give you s***, get it for yourself
Flip 'til you can't flip no more for yourself
Gotta get off your a** - make it happen, my n****
Even if it come down to you pullin' that trigga
n****, look, don't worry 'bout the next n****
They gon' hate ya anyway, and that's a fact, n****
So while they hatin', you just keep doin' your thing
n**** get outta line is when you let your nuts hang
In the project, n**** don't wan' see you come up
You don't give 'em what they want, they just f*** your head up
Like a man, bruh - you know how it be goin' down
n**** be straight project livin' uptown
